Topic: Poll: Which religion is the best religion? - page 5. (Read 58970 times)
Atheists don't need a promise of reward to believe... they believe because it's true
Everyone will say that their religion is the best one. The Christians will claim that Christianity is the best, as non-Christians will not gain entry to the heaven. Muslims will say that Islam is the best, as they will get 72 virgins after the death.
Huh?
Atheists like their religion the best. Yet all they get after death is a spot in the ground, and not even this much if they are cremated. Is that all they want? I should think a person would want something so that he has a little more hope in it than that.
I like the 72 virgins idea, but I have a few questions...
It seems like the male/female ratio is gonna be a bit off with this... can I get a guarantee all 72 of mine will be female?
Also, 72 sounds like a lot... but if I only go through 1 a month... I'll be out of virgins after only 6 years, leaving me with no virgins for 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999...993 years

Well, there isn't such thing. There is indeed only ONE GOD! That I know for sure. If you want to relate with religion, you have to approach knowing that those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. (words of James)
There are so much crap in this world that lots of people get cut up in the middle of this turmoil, in some kind of eternal unanswered loop, looking for a path that isn't there. The more i study this, the more i talk to people, more and more i come up with the conclusion that everything is so simple, it might drive you away. To keep oneself from being polluted by the world, all you have to consider is: do to others what you would do to yourself.

Religion just like selecting a girlfriend or a wife can be a very subjective thing. We all want to belong and in many cases we just follow along as many of have been born into the religion which our parents and even grandparents got into. Partly, we never chose so we just follow what can be available for us.
Religion if not understood well and if not practiced right can be a big source of division and strife. Millions had died due to religious-in-nature wars and chaos. Humanity since time immemorial used religion in the wrong way. We think that we can use religion to oppress other people and to kill those who are not in agreement with us.
As would say that the best religion is the religion that you are practicing to the best of your abilities along the line of peace, camaraderie, patience, generosity and love.
The fact that religion is very strong has influence not only on one person, but also on the large masses of the people, this is unequivocal. But the choice of a man always suits differently. There are religions when parents bring their own child as a child and practically have no choice, because already growing up, he has an affiliation with a particular religion. This is the Catholics and the Orthodox. Religion if not understood well and if not practiced right can be a big source of division and strife.

I don't believe taht there is a "best religion" but I believe that a good religion is the one who instills good teachings about one another and for the better good of the entire humanity. It doesn't matter what religion do you belong as long as your religion influence you for the better.
Well i agree with you there brother. Though i think the problem really is not with the religion itself but with some people's twisted interpretation of their religion. I mean, i think all religions instill good teachings that will benefit all men. Its just that some tend to take these teachings wrongly at the same time influence others that their interpretation is the right one
LOL. Arguing about which religion is the best is like arguing about which type of cocain is best.
They all work and get the job done.
There are some religions which offer eternal life after death, which leads to peace, complementing spiritual needs, and to unify differences, I am happy with this.
But I see every religion has flaws in various versions of the sect apart, so this loophole exploited other religions to ruin in order to introduce their own religion, this is what I call propaganda.
Religion is a life choice, the truth about karma, heaven and hell are pure inner satisfaction of each individual, if there are some religions that claim the most nice and considers other religions obviously go to hell, they don't think people are born into this world from various ethnic groups, whether those born to the life of a particular religion will go to hell without being given a chance such as the other religions teach? it is irrational selfishness.
However I still sympathy, religion is better than not believing in gods, spiritual emptiness will never produce long-term happiness.

Not the one which is best religion, what should we do is respect each other.
I'm an apostolic Christian and I will agree on this. Whatever religion you belong as long as you know how to respect people, that's humanity.
But when it comes to salvation that will be a long talk and I don't want to start that here.
Because there are people who belongs to a good religion but they had a very bad attitude and thoughts, so their religion is nothing.
Whoever started this poll is very stupid and immature. Why would anyone rate religions good, better or best? I am a Christian and I cannnot assure myself that I am going to heaven because I chose this religion. It still depends on how you treat others and how you live your life in this world and that's what count. Even we all have different term for Gods , I know that it's just the same.
After all it's all about being a good person, kind to others, bringing people happiness and joy.
That's what's "God" is about and that's the only way to be trully happy.

I dont think religion is the big issue and whats the best religion. As long there is respect to each other beliefs, respect on others form of faith. All is well if others will respect on what religion they are in.
In general, it is considered that God is one and only every people has its own approach and worship to it. Therefore, we have many religions. Therefore, it is correct to say that there is one faith, with different approaches. I dont think religion is the big issue and whats the best religion. As long there is respect to each other beliefs, respect on others form of faith. All is well if others will respect on what religion they are in.
No. Respect of the beliefs of other people is not necessarily good. For example. If someone else believes it is right to kill anybody anytime he chooses, should you respect that belief? Most of us cannot respect that belief.
We should respect every person as a person. We should respect the right of every person to hold whatever beliefs he wants. But we should never respect the beliefs as unless they are the same beliefs we hold.

kind of the second dumbest thing i read today.
religion(s) are not something you grade in terms of better/best.
and neither is philosophy something you're a 'fan' of.
to quote nassim taleb on the matter:
here in taiwan, people have 3 religions: confucianism, daoism and buddhism. often at the same time. and 3 different kinds of 'temples'.
all three serve different functions and have different purpose.
god, i just registered in this forum few days ago and it already seems to me like the bluelight.org of bitcoin/cryptocur...

People rarely mean the same thing when they say "religion", nor do they realize that they don't mean the same thing.
For early Jews and Muslims, religion was law. For early Jews it was also tribal; for early Muslims it was universal. For the Romans religion was social events and festivals (law was separate ). For Jews today religion became ethnocultural, without the law --and for some, a nation. Same for Syriacs, Copts, and Maronites.For Orthodox and Catholic Christians religion is aesthetics, pomp and rituals. For Protestants religion is belief with no aesthetics, pomp or law. For Buddists/Shintoists/Hindus religion is philosophy. So when Hindu talk about the Hindu "religion" they don't mean the same thing to a Pakistani as it would to a Hindu, and certainly something different for a Persian.
People keep talking past each other. When the nation-state idea came about, things got more complicated. When an Arab now says "Jew" he largely means belief; a converted Jew is no longer a Jew. But for a Jew it means a nation.
In Serbia/Croatia, or Lebanon, religion means something at times of peace, and something quite different at times of war.

no religion. you learn to think for yourself and evaluate things based on facts. life becomes more enjoyable as well without arbitrary rules constructed for cavemen society.
very true! No one religion is better/superior than the other and imo i think they are all linked in some way. 
your poll is so non sense. it only create chaos. it is so complicated when we talk about religion. we have different beliefs, and op should know that. this is full of non sense. of course people will defend each other religions they belong to. so the discussion will never be over. the battle of what religion is more powerful, the best etc etc will never stop and no one will win in this kind of war.
Not the one which is best religion, what should we do is respect each other.

Religion, regardless of its direction, is the product of the devil, and the devil never did anything true.
That's rude. I think you don't have a religion to teach you the word "respect".Even though you don't believe it, you should know how to respect. Show that religion is not important to you to become a good person but I think that's an example of a person lacking of religious influence to their life.
Hahaha its such a cliche that you believe in devil but don't believe in religions, so what do you call yourself? In every religions they taught many things, they been like a law that made people do the right things when there is still no senate or president, so don't hate any religions cause they made us who we are now.
